Stove is burning

We lit our Sedore a week ago but then it was so warm that we let the fire go out again. Here in the mountains of PA we had a week of unseasonably cold weather for October. We even saw some snow, which did not stick. Now it has warmed back up to 60 degree days and in fact last Thursday saw something closer to 70. So we are enjoying these last warm days of fall and letting the stove rest a bit more.
The chimney is now cleaned out. We purchased an 8 inch chimney brush with rods and a rope and came from top and bottom to clean out the chimney. After 2 years of burning mostly wood through our chimney there was very little creosote in the stack. So we are pleased although not surprised. The Sedore is a great stove.
